This book definitely has a unique and fun concept. I definitely wouldn’t call it horror as I was never really scared. Probably would shelve this as a thriller. 

I do wish there wasn’t as much jumping around. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some non linear storytelling, but it was done in a way that was kinda confusing to figure out. At times it was hard to tell if you were reading about the present or the past. Sometimes also, the middle of the chapter would suddenly jump to the past when I didn’t expect it to. There were also a number of lines I had to reread to figure out what was going on, especially during the jumps. 

One thing I did like a lot were the interludes about random people around the world and how their days are disrupted by the apocalypse. Then it has a nice bow on it at the end of the entire book. 

If you’re a fan of the podcast, you’ll probably be a fan of this book. It definitely reads like it’s a podcast and the characters talk a lot like they would in a podcast. This makes for quick, easy reading.
